Bookbinding, sketching, and collecting street art

Cthulhu

Another commission finished! This one is a 30th birthday present, and the lady who ordered it provided the image she wanted used on the leather wallet as well as the quote for the front of the notebook.

The image (and a facsimile of HP Lovecraft’s signature) has been burned onto the leather using a pyrography iron, and the notebook cover was kept deliberately simple (so as not to detract from the wallet, which is the main gift) with the quote hand-inked on in a simple typewriter style font.

This arrived yesterday and I finally got my hands on it today, it’s lovely, everyone I’ve shown it to is very impressed at the quality of it. I’m so pleased that The Gift Shed agreed to take on the comission as I can’t think of anyone who would have done such a brilliant job.

Thank you so much, I am now much more excited about his birthday than he is because I just know he is going to love it!
